mysql migration from innodb to myisam

I need to migrate my mysql database from my myisam to innodb
But i dont have to do it for all the tables.. For some i would leave it as myisam and the others would be migrated to innodb.
Is there any particular mysql version criteria that i should look for to get the best performance and integrity?
Coud someone let me know of the process....

How do you save your indexes ?
Can u export them to a file and import them into your new database?

ChristoferDutz

You could have a look at liquibase. This makes really good snapshots of the Database Structure, all Constraints, Indexes ... everything ... except the Data itself, but I think you will be able to do that somehow. I just haven't tried that yet)
